Embedding YouTube videos into posts is great. I just tried embedding a YouTube Short in the Boris thread and it didn't work. I used the regular YouTube embed code in the [ ] . Are YouTube Shorts coded different to regular videos so won't embed, or am I doing something wrong?

If the coding is different, can [youtube] code in PH be updated to include Shorts?

This is the video I tried to embed in the Boris thread and the [URL] link code for it that does work.

Haha I took a lucky guess. Replace the "shorts" bit in the url and replaced it with "watch?v" to end up with this url..................

Then do the PH [youtube] bit
